DVD-RB 1.27.1 keeps crashing after doing its work

[wildchild77]

Rebuilder 1.27.2 is still not working with Wine on Linux. I still get the same Debugger found error when trying to open the program after installation. Not wanting to Hijack this thread I will post any updates in the Linux section in an old thread.

I stiil have a few more things to try as well as posting a bug report over at WineHQ. Maybe those guys can come up with a solution or work around. It seems there is a conflict with the debugger built into Wine, but I am no programmer!

Jdobbs :thanks: for the great program!

Pro V. 1.26.6 and free V. 0.98.2 stiil work rock solid.

I wasn't going to intrude after surfing(?) here for a few years but it might be helpful. I registered but it's taken 5 days before I could post,so sorry if it's a bit late.This is from when 1.27.1 was released and in no way am I getting at Mr Dobbs as I've used this program for ages now and love it.

I've had to go back to 1.26.6 .
Installed 1.27.1 last week after 1.27.0 (which took an hour longer than normal and had the sound out of sync and stuttering),and started it up while I did some fiddling in other programs, including playing with Vista in Virtual PC.Came back to pc to find the blue screen so assumed that something else was wrong.Checked on the forum and found others had something funny happening as well.
Tried using it after reboot and it got partway through,before any encoding and it crashed..Next go it did the whole movie and then the system crashed..
Since then I've tried it with bitrate on/off,HC for redist.on/of and still it crashes the pc just sitting there doing nothing........!
These options I haven't used before, so wondered if they were affecting something,but as I just said I tried all settings back as I've used them before- default.One click mode.
I've got 1.26.6 sitting in the background now after using it earlier, so I'll leave it running and check if anything's happened before I go to bed.
Still no problem after 7 hours with 1.26.6.
Intel P4 3.4GHz, 2GB of ram. Xp Pro SP2. Normally rock solid.

Now have installed 1.27.2 and so far ok. Noticed after doing a test this morning that the cpu sits at 50% instead of running at 100% with HC.And it took a lot longer.

Now I'm not sure if these 2 builds were done with the same options selected,sorry.It's been a bit confusing here!!
If I can help I will,otherwise ignore me.Now do I push post....

I hate to rain on your parade... but something else is at work here. The time for encoding is dependent upon the encoder -- not DVD-RB. In fact for 90 plus percent of the time in encoding and building DVD-RB is simply idling waiting for the encoder to complete.

Post your REBUILDER.INI file so we can see your settings. Also:

1. What kind of processor are you using?
2. What other activities were happening at the time?
3. Were you reading directly from a disc via AnyDVD or was the read from the hard drive? This makes a BIG DIFFERENCE if you are running multiple instances. In fact it can take several times as long because of the slow seek time of DVD drives.
4. Do you have multiple processes selected? Do you have multiple processors?

My own personal experiences with v1.27.2 show no different speeds than previous versions.

as for:

in no way am I getting at Mr DobbsIt sure sounds different from where I sit.

I apologize. I was wrong.

"The time for encoding is dependent upon the encoder -- not DVD-RB. In fact for 90 plus percent of the time in encoding and building DVD-RB is simply idling waiting for the encoder to complete."

I understand that now.Thanks.

I've run the 2 again and it is as you say.I must have selected the Best option for HC after installing 1.27.2.I still don't know why the cpu maxed out at 100% the last time I used HC on 1.26.6 before loading 1.27.2, as they both run at 50% now.But that's nothing to do with Reb.

I did not post to do harm.Thanks for your help and program.
